    Our hostess was just delightful. We really enjoyed her hospitality and her son plays the piano beautifully. A really lovely family and so friendly and welcoming. The location was excellent and very peaceful.

    The location is perfect for those who are ready to find themselves immersed in beautiful Redwood surroundings, peacefully remote from bustling Santa Cruz or San Jose, yet sufficiently sunny (and hot) due to several clearings that also serve as...

    Nos encantó el paisaje, la alberca que estaba entre los árboles. La terraza tenía una vista preciosa, todo nos pareció muy bonito y ni se diga de los anfitriones, fueron muy amables y atento con nosotros. Nos hicieron sentir como en casa! ✨🫶🏻

    Tania and marshall were amazing! Great hosts - very kind and gracious! It was so nice to drink coffee on the porch in the morning :) The room was standard - clean and a nice bed to sleep in - but the best part of this place is definitely the pool...

    Wunderbar. Die Hausfrau hat für uns extra Quesadillas gemacht mit Obst dekoriert auf der zauberhaften Terasse inmitten von riesigen Bäumen- der Sohn spielte live wunderbar Klavier für uns. Viel Herz und Naturverbundenheit. Idyllisch im Wald...

    Für die letzte Nacht unserer USA Reise, war es die perfekte Unterkunft. Die Inhaberin ist super nett und zuvorkommend. Zur Entspannung waren wir im Whirlpool mit einem Glas Wein. Das Ambiente war einzigartig, sodass man sich so richtig entspannen...

Company information

We enjoy sharing our big property. We started this business not only as a source of income, but as a source for the happiness we get from satisfying a guest.

Property information

This property is my home that I live in with my 2 kids. It is a rustic and homey vibe, definitely not a hotel. We want you to come knowing what to expect. Our property offers a pool, zipline, and trampolines for the kids. We have a deck patio area that overlooks an amazing view of the redwood forest. Most of our guests are those that come from foreign countries and they all LOVE the property. I love leaving a great impression of our area.

Neighbourhood information

The neighborhood is very quiet. We have famous hiking trails nearby in felton such as Wilder Ranch state park. Henry Cowell State Park is also nearby and has beautiful scenery along with hiking trails.
